Hello! After spending the past few days going through the Family Circle Illustrated Volume of Cooking, 1972 set, I decided to go with volume 10, Hot Dog Happenings, Infallible Instants and Mixes, The Joy of Cooking for Others (as if), and Land of Plenty Preserved. Why be normal and go in numerical order?
I'm going to TRY not to make any phallic references to the first section about hot dogs. It's going to be hard and it's going to require some discipline on my behalf. Oh who am I kidding? I'm not disciplined and when this book starts describing hot dogs as glistening franks, my hands are tied. My brain to finger filter suddenly disappears. But to keep this out of the NSFW status, I'll behave. Sigh...
Infallible Instants and Mixes: I have never thought of dry soup mix as infallible but I'll play along for the the S&Gs.
The Joy of Cooking for Others: There's joy in that? Maybe I need a cooking epiphany or something.
Land of Plenty Preserved: I don't think that means what they think it means anymore.
And that concludes the hot dog portion of this post. Moving on, shall we?
There's still 13 volumes left!

Are you a hotdog fancier? Would you like to wrap a meatloaf and onions around your wiener? That didn't last long, did it? Sigh. |

Glistening franks and lamb patties.(AGH) It has to be the best way to serve franks. But it's most important to cook them separately. |

Sweaty wieners. Eeew. |

Wiener Tiara Bake. No, it really is called that. I'm serious for once. |

Confetti Skillet Supper. Instead of the reality of eating hot dogs, corn, lima beans, and rice, just imagine being somewhere else and throwing confetti in celebration of a better life. |

There's the jig-time vegetables, zip-quick rib sticking meats, split-second soups, and whatever the hell that long and scary bread with the olives peeking out of it is called. |

My secret recipe when I bake is everything I bake comes from a mix-cake, roll, or cookie, too. Most everything anyway. I see a typo in that caption! |

Onion Sausage Pie. And how many years did it take to get the smell out of your house if you made this? |

That what of who for huh? There's joy in that? I told you all I need a cooking epiphany. |

That's right Jack. That's right Jill. Your rocket cones can take you to the moon. Reach for the sky. You won't always be stuck with a rat/kitty cat/mouse/gelatin cake either. |

"For birthday teenagers, none of the pastel party bit. The saltier and heartier the better," said nobody in 2013 ever. Let's just impress the gang with A-Okay Lasagna. |

Really? That's the prettiest pantry? Because surely if I canned my own vegetables and pickles it would be arranged exactly like that. |
There's still 13 volumes left!
